Habitat. — New Granada, line of Panama R. R. 



Remarks. — The female differs only in the color not being so 

 clear below, and in the white of the throat having a slight 

 tinge of cinnamon. 



I have had for some time a female of this species, which I 

 was, however, unable to determine. Recently I received ano- 

 ther example, much the same in plumage, but with the color 

 below purer and the throat whiter, the sex of which was 

 not marked. This I have now described as the male, — it agrees 

 with a specimen of the same species, marked as of that sex, 

 which came with other birds belonging- to the Smithsonian 

 Institution, sent to me for examination by Prof. Baird ; it was 

 collected in Costa Rica by Julian Carmiol. This and the pre- 

 ceding species are included in my Catalogue of the Birds of 

 Panama, but were undetermined.
